From the album “Was (Not Was)” (1981)
Written by David Was and Don Was
Cantonese version: 杜德偉 – 只想留下
I spend my nights down on the wharf
In unlit alleyways
By the church downtown
Where sally prays
Come down sometime
We’ll share a rusty can of corn..
And listen to the radio
I love you, I love you, it says..
Where did your heart go
Did you put it on a train
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in mexico
You cry, but I don’t know
I’ve heard it all before
There it goes again, the slamming of the door
Sometimes the river calls me
And at night it calls my name
Says “put your troubles down beside me”
Things have always been the same..
And rock ‘n’ roll won’t teach me
What the river said that night
I jumped into this beauty
And drifted out of sight..
